I have a problem for you. It is an easy problem. I guarantee that each of you will know the answer to this problem.
You are a missionary. On the first day the missionary travels six miles, crossing two streams and one mountain to get to the first village. There he preaches and baptizes twenty people. On the next day he travels twelve miles to the next village crossing three streams. There eight people are baptized. On the third day he gets lost after traveling seven miles and climbing two mountains. So on the fourth day he goes back to the last village, preaches again, and makes three more converts. On the next day he sets out in another direction, travels nine miles, crosses four rivers, and preaches at a village where thirty-three people are baptized. Finally, he travels fifteen miles to get back to his home station, crossing two streams and two mountains to get there.
Now, the question is: what color are the missionary's eyes?
[Note: The riddle began: "You are a missionary."]
